Okidoki, well it took me a ridiculously long time to put out the first blog post but here it is folks! Considering the fact I am new at this I will keep it short and sweet (like our honey ;-P).
After a pretty frantic spring getting all 30 colonies set-up and equipment put together it is all slowing down to a nice pace. Out of the 29 queens we bought three were not accepted, leaving us to find new ones last minute. I believe this worked out to our advantage. We now have three beautiful MN Hygienic Queens. This is a breed that is gaining in popularity and I can see why. These ladies are workaholics! We are very excited to see how their offspring function and with these hot days we should see progress soon.

A quick shout out to the amazing flowers that are blooming at this very moment! We are very fortunate to have such great bee yards and such beautiful native flowers!
